Orton appears to have upper hand in Bears' QB race

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:32:00 +1900

Says ESPN's John Clayton. "This is the first time I've gone into a camp with a chance to be the opening-day starter," Orton said. "I've been stuck back with the threes in all of my offseasons. We'd have a 24-play period and I'd get four plays, if I was lucky."

Call me crazy, but it's time for Bears to trade Hester -- ChicagoSports.com

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 12:42:59 +1900

With his trade value at an all-time high, the Bears would be wise to at least consider dealing Hester Dan Pompei | On the NFL July 25, 2008 No one, with the possible exception of Bears coach Lovie Smith, appreciates the abilities of Devin Hester more than I do. He is a player unlike any other I have seen in more than 20 years covering the NFL. Hester can affect games as much as any player in ...

Sign the kicker–the kicker–to a long-term deal. Check. The oft-injured defensive tackle? Check. The aging middle linebacker that already has a contract? Check. The linebacker that said he would never play for the Bears again? Check. The most dynamic player the Bears have ever had save Gale and Walter? The greatest kick returner in NFL history? Ruh-Roh.

Devin Hester Ends Shortest Holdout in NFL History, Reports to Bears Training Camp

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:04:00 +1900

Let me take you back 24 hours, when Devin Hester, return dude extraordinaire, declared that he wasn't playing for $445,000 this season . He's worth way more than that, and until the Bears gave him a new deal, he wasn't showing up for work. It's a popular strategy for disgruntled players looking for more money, and one that seldom works ( Devin, Lance. Lance, Devin ). Not so much because ...

Bills have holdout headache of their own

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 03:38:41 +1900

Buffalo is about to encounter the same questions and controversies that gripped Chicago this week. Just as Bears wide receiver/return specialist Devin Hester failed to report to training camp, Bills Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters will do the same. Just as Hester is hinting at a season-long holdout, Peters is contemplating the same. Just as it is not pretty in Chicago where Hester is facing ...

Grossman's Optimism Unleashed

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:53:52 +1900

When it comes to the Bears, it’s fair to say that with each new season I am exceedingly optimistic. You say the glass is half-empty? I don’t just say it’s half-full. I say look at those droplets all around the sides–those have to count for something too, right? But even your ever-hopeful Zoner had to laugh when I read what Rex Grossman had to say about the Bears offense.

Camp spotlight

QB BATTLEDay 2 of the great quarterback derby provided Kyle Orton with the opportunity to direct the first-team offense, and he developed a quick rapport with Brandon Lloyd , connecting with him on a variety of routes. Overall, Orton and Rex Grossman both looked solid and were sharper than they were Wednesday. Orton had one mix-up where Hunter Hillenmeyer picked him off on a ball deep down the sideline for tight end Greg Olson . Orton looked decisive and made some crisp throws. Grossman showed ...

Devin Hester Ain't Playing for $445,000 in '08

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:04:00 +1900

In most professions, if a co-worker announces that he can't do his job for $445,000 a year, you'd punch him in the face. Professional sports is different -- a half-million bucks is blue-collar money -- and that's why the Chicago Bears' only scoring threat, Devin Hester , has declared he is sitting out training camp until he gets a new deal . Viva La Revolución! Or something. "I'm not ...

Vasher feels Hester's pain

Vasher feels Hester's pain, but he knows holdout isn't answer > Nathan Vasher showed up on time for the 2006 season, shut up and played for the relative pittance of $425,000. That's what professionals do. A year after his protest, the Bears took care of Vasher. That's an example worth reminding Devin Hester.
